Pattern Description:

Perfect for tabletops, mantles and small spaces, the festive Felted Forest can be made in any color scheme and embellished to your heart's content! The best part is how easy it is to store, ship or gift - the trees fold flat. Just stuff them with plastic bags or tissue paper to display.

All techniques such as the scallop border, changing colors, felting and making the twisty top are fully explained in the pattern. The pattern includes instructions for all 3 sizes of trees and free "Tree Tips".

My patterns are written in a non-traditional way to be very beginner-friendly. I use few, if any, abbreviations and give instructions in a row-by-row format in easy-to-read large type with a color picture of the finished project.

I've always made things as long as I can remember. Both my Mom and Dad were"makers", so it just was what you did! The handcrafted item was always respected and expected in my family.

Mom taught me how to knit, which was a challenge, as she was left-handed and I'm right-handed!

Knitting is the one art and craft that I always return to through the years.

My other favorites are marbling, bookbinding, calligraphy and beading. It's especially fun to try and combine all of my favorites into one design! I can add sewing to the favorites list again after taking the "Couture Dress" class on Craftsy - I hadn't sewn for myself in a long time because fitting and the way patterns are done frustrated me to no end - the class gave me a whole new way to approach sewing and I'm enjoying it again.
